I work on help desk, you stated the problem, i can fucking assume you want me to advise. Fucking christ.

Also i support “financial advisors” so their lives and jobs really do not matter.

My thought is that “please advise” indicates “what can I do about this?” as opposed to “you fix this for me”.

Yeah to me that’s “please tell me how to do this myself so I can avoid bugging you about it in the future.”

there’s pretty much always a 90% chance i will have to fix it for them. cause people can’t fuckin read. The other day i said in the ticket reply “send me a scan of the printer network configuration printout” and she replied with “can i just scan it and send it to you?”

THE FUCK DID I SAY?

9 times out of 10 they either don’t know how to do it or send the wrong printout like sending you a printout of printer reads.

As long as we’re doing PSAs, if you are interacting with IT support in any capacity you don’t need to tell us that you have a question before asking a question, especially not every time you have a question. We’re here to answer those things, you don’t need to warn us beforehand.

The feminine urge to be trapped in a decaying orbit with out primary engines, relying on your ground support team to figure out how you can enter a survivable glide path with only rcs and a couple of fire extinguishers.

every ticket i submit to the devs in jira gets responded with “user error” im starting to think they just dont want to fix this goddamn software

edit: im not the user im forwarding issues from users i do software support

me: “see the issue must be the software because it says they never did X because the column in the database that logs the last time X was done is NULL.”

dev: “yeah that field is not reliable this was user error”

fffffffffffffffffffff

IF THE FIELD ISN’T RELIABLE ISN’T THAT AN ISSUE IN ITSELF?

Forreal. These seem less like bugs and more like fundamental issues in the requirements.
